ABSTRACT Vogt Koyanagi Harada disease affects several parts of the body, such as eyes, meninges, ears, and skin. The progressive course of the disease can lead to blindness and deafness. The case is presented of a Hispanic woman (mixed-race) with visual alterations, headache, tinnitus, hearing loss, and posterior uveitis with serous detachments of the retina in both eyes, as well as lymphocytic meningitis. The aim of the present study is to review the literature, the diagnostic strategies, and the appropriate treatment, as well as to update the immunogenetic pathogenesis of the disease.
